He will just say, "I killed osama" over and over again.

There's one thing I took note of in this chart- every time since '72 where Ohio went Democrat they went Republican the next time with the exception of '96.
That's once out of 10 times.
They also went Republican 60% of the time in these 10 election cycles.




Last 10 Elections ( State voted with the overall winning candidate)
1972 -R
R1976 -D
D1980 -R
R1984 -R
R1988 -R
R1992 -D
D1996 -D
D2000 -R
R2004 -R
R2008 -D
D

it seems Mitt has tied Obama in Ohio at 46% each. Looks like Mitt's chances at winning the state and the overall election has taken a giant leap forward.

Romney does not have a lead in Ohio. It is the other way round...

Check out RCP >> RealClearPolitics - Election 2012 - Ohio: Romney vs. Obama

If anything, Ohio is too close to call.
But the last poll Romney ever had a lead in Ohio was on 10/06 - 10/10 done by Gravis Marketing....

The really important number here is not if Romney or Obama is in the lead. the important number is Obama's support. He is below 48% the undecideds are going to break by huge numbers to the challenger. they always do.

unless Obama can get to 50% he is in trouble and his numbers are moving in the opposite direction.

And Walker was going to be massively recalled in Wisconsin. The libbies still have no idea what's happening and what's going to happen November 6th when they will now have to address Governor Romney as President Romney.

And here is the real reason why Romney should stay in Ohio

He is closing the gap FAST in Penn.

PA has 20 Evotes. Ohio has 18

by pressing in Ohio, it makes Obama spend money there, which prevents him from spending as much in PA to hold his lead.

I dont know if Romney can win PA, but putting money in both, forces Obamas hand on the spending.

Nope, even with Ohio lost Romney is still a winner.

As is the case here, Romney wins.



Concerning the 1980 election where Reagan beat Carter like a dead worm.

Then came more hard punches. On Oct. 13, Gallup put the race nationally at Carter 44%, Reagan 40%. The bottom appeared to fall out two weeks later when a new national Gallup poll had Carter 47%, Reagan 39%.
National polls national smools.. they have been wrong more than right so stick em in your pipe and smoke em.

Obama is going to be beaten like my grandma used to beat a dirty rug.
